Hall-of-Famers Tim Raines and Ryne Sandberg to Appear at 2017 Chicago Golf Show®

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Baseball legends Tim Raines and Ryne Sandberg will highlight a
Hall-of-Fame Weekend at the Chicago Golf Show® Presented by French Lick
Resort, Feb. 24-26, at the Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont.

Raines, who played for the White Sox from 1991-95, was selected to the
National Baseball Hall of Fame on Jan. 17. Raines will be formally
inducted at Cooperstown, New York on July 30. This will be his first
Chicago appearance since his selection.

Raines, who served as first base coach for the 2005 World Series
Champion White Sox, is scheduled to appear on the Daily Herald Main
Stage at 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25.

the Cubs until his retirement in 1997, entered the Hall in 2005.

Sandberg is scheduled to appear on the Daily Herald Main Stage at 1:15
p.m. Sunday, Feb. 26.

Both men are avid golfers and, like many retirees, play frequently now
that they have more time.
